Bloomberg Staffers Brag About Ripping Off His Campaign, Covertly Canvassing For Sanders
2020-03-08
It looks like Hizzoner’s brilliance cannot be universally applied. I admit to being truly shocked.
[DailyCaller] Staffers for former New York City Mayor Michael Nanny Mike Bloomberg
...former Republican mayor of New York. He tried to take the credit for Rudy Giuliani's actions in the wake of the 9-11 attacks. He was known as Nanny Bloomberg for his war on 32-ounce Slurpees. Nanny is a candidate for the Dem presidential nomination in 2020. He was born on Valentine's day, 1942, which makes him 77.98496 years old, which is pretty ripe. Mike has lots of money, some of which he spends on grass roots organizations pushing for common sense gun laws along the same lines as his common sense Slurpee laws....
’s failed presidential campaign say they went rogue and canvassed for Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
after the Nevada debate debacle, The Nation reported Friday, citing anonymous sources.

People who worked with the team knew the campaign was over after Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...
blasted Bloomberg during the Feb. 19 debate in Nevada, the report noted. They also said they were met with hostility from voters on the campaign trail, according to The Nation’s Ken Klippenstein.

"Most people knew this was a grift," one campaign official noted, according to Klippenstein’s report. "At our first office meeting, my [director] said, ’We don’t need to canvass. We can just make calls, right guys?’ And everyone was like, ’Yeah, that’s sensible.’" The staffers could not go on record because they signed a non-disclosure agreement with the campaign, the report notes.

The staffers spoke anonymously out of concern for professional reprisal and due to a non-disclosure agreement. Klippenstein obtained a leaked copy of the NDA in February ‐ a representative with the campaign confirmed the copy was indeed from the campaign.

Several staffers said they actively tried to undermine Bloomberg’s campaign, even canvassed for Sanders.

"I would actively canvass for Bernie when I was supposed to be canvassing for Mike. I know of at least one team of ’volunteers’ that was entirely fabricated by the organizers who had to hit their goals," one staffer said, according to Klippenstein’s report.

The person added: "It was easy enough to fudge the data to make it look like real people put in real volunteer work, when in reality Mike was getting nothing out of it."
